Summary

I was a Software Developer in the Amazon Web Services at New York. I have limited experience working in professional settings. However, I have wrote and directed 2 original 2.5 minute short films, worked on wedding digital invitations and photography, Instagram videos that have given me experience in all aspects of the film industry like: screenwriting, directing, talent search, cinematography, and some editing and producing experience. I am interested in the summer course of filmmaking. I believe it will offer an excellent base for me and will open endless opportunities for my future endeavors.
